Heading out of town to metal detect, at my wife's grandparents. The problem, I've searched every square inch of my house for my Propointer and cannot find it.

We can't delay any longer and have to leave, this really sucks.

I was sick for a week, but I leave my stuff in a pile in the garage. Well, she moved my stuff over a few feet, and somehow it has finished.

Guess ill have to use my $30 pointer, this will be brutal.

LOL, you guys have wives that move stuff? Wait that will change. I am married forty years and my wife, and my best friend, tells me she isn't my mother, so wherever I place something it stays until I pick it up. LOL! I used to have that problem, not any more. I'm just sayin'!

And that's the truth if some of my detecting stuff isnt in its spot its not cuz its lost its cuz the wifes out using it, that's y I had to get her basically 1 of everything I'm using so mine would stay put lol

I wrapped bright yellow tape around the speaker as it only draws attention to your activity and it makes for a easy to find pinpointer.

My wife and eight year old son move everything all the time. Very frustrating I know. Maybe you can buy another propointer where tour going that way you end up with a spare.

Well if they live in Nebraska, it won't be much of a problem! Nothing there!:BangHead:

Well I managed to pull off a few finds. This 1940's Looks Magazine token was the best find.

The search for my Propointer continues when I get back home.

My hunt was in Mena, Arkansas.

Try using the metal detector in the garage to find your pro-pointer.

Haha. Trust me, there isn't a place I haven't looked. Yard, toy box, entertainment area, under car seats, et cetera. Can't imagine what happen to it, didn't leave it at a detecting site.
